Taking on a project horse

One of my friends, who is an intermediate rider and just starting to get into barrel racing, is looking at buying a cheap project horse to train. She just wants a horse that she can train and run on in fun days and stuff. She has one in mind but I think it is a little old and not in good shape to just be starting barrel training. The ad seems quite vague too. What are yall's opinions?

I'm no barrel racer but not one of those pictures tells you much of anything about the horse. You'd have to go see him and find out why they are basically giving him away. There is at least one good reason. I don't think 12 is too old but 14 hands is too short for a lot of people. That is not a weight carrying build.
